An enjoyable year with new opportunities and experiences,
Progress for all children and the highest standards achieved for every child,

Embedding a high level of respect,

If you have any concerns or questions regarding your child, please feel free to see me at the end of the day. If I am not available or this is not convenient for yourself, then please make an appointment with me via the school office.

I look forward to continuing to work with you this year to ensure that your child reaches their full potential whilst in my care.
